3The new EC-B

The EC-B cranes – an irreplaceable part of the Liebherr product portfolio. Flat-Top cranes have outstanding properties, relating to both their erection and transport, and their special design without tower head also means that multiple cranes can work closely together safely on constricted sites.

Nowadays, Flat-Top cranes are the standard crane on building sites around the world. We have taken the outstanding features of the existing successful EC-B series as a basis and improved them with a range of highlights to ensure that they remain the crane of choice for the future. The result is Tough Ones which deliver everything customers want in terms of performance, erection solutions, control system, convenience and appearance. Make sure you have Tough Ones on your site!

The EC-B cranes deliver even greater capacity if you use the Fibre versions. The core feature of the cranes with the new fibre rope is the low weight of the rope and hook block, which directly affects the crane’s lifting capacity. The unique features of the Fibre Cranes also include a longer service life and easier maintenance and handling.

Even the standard versions of the cranes achieve long ranges. We can also deliver options to adjust the jib length flexibly to suit your site. A three-metre extension achieves the longest ranges in all classes. A 2.5 m intermediate sec-tion allows the standard increment of 5 m to be refined even further. That enables you to use your cranes on as many different sites as possible.

Unmatched performance

Load-Plus Fibre version

No hoist is too heavy for the new EC-B cranes. The Load-Plus function gives you up to 20% more lifting capacity at the touch of a button.

Jib extension

Tower performance

The new EC-B cranes can of course be combined with the existing towers in our portfolio. The special feature of this is that they use the performance of the tower systems better than ever before. This means that even the largest Flat-Top

crane, the 370 EC-B Fibre, can be used with the 21 HC 290 tower system without any restrictions – in other words you enjoy top economy with a conventional tower system which is already widely available on the market.

The jibs for the new EC-B cranes have extremely small external dimensions. This means that three long jib sections can be stacked on the bed of a standard truck for transport. In other words, for example, the 370 EC-B Fibre can be transport-ed using just four trucks. This reduces both CO2 emissions and transport costs.

Brilliant mounting solutions

New quick-release connections Improved for transport

The LiConnect quick-release connections make connect-ing the slewing platform to the jib and counter-jib even easier and safer. This means that the erection process can take place even in difficult weather conditions and at a slight gradient – in other words at a positive or negative angle. This saves time in the erection preparation process.

New compact head

The core of the crane, the slewing platform, was the particular focus for the revision of the EC-B series. Lightweight construction methods mean that the new models are up to one tonne lighter - depending on the crane type. Furthermore, both the cabin and the switch cabinet platforms are secured to the slewing platform with quick-release connections so that they can be installed and removed quickly. The reduction is particularly beneficial if only small mobile cranes are available.

Other featuresTower bolting from the slewing platform Safe working practice without erection platformsQuick-release electrical connections Simple plug-in process replaces complicated connection. Coded plugs prevent errorsPin magazine Pins are stored in the pin magazines so that they are always in easy reach Improved transport Can be transported in a small number of packagesCatwalks to the jib head Ergonomic and safely accessibleTime-tested Liebherr accessories Substructures, towers, LiUP – you can continue to use all the familiar accessories

One jib pin can weigh up to 30 kg. That is quite a weight for a service technician to handle at great heights. So we have come up with the perfect solution. In the future the erec-tion engineer can insert the pins safely using a handle and a centring tool. The flattened end of the pins, the centring tool, makes inserting the pins easier, particularly if the com-ponent being erected has not yet been properly aligned.

To help service technicians, the EC-B cranes have an addi-tional support for the counter-jib guying. The height can be aligned precisely using a smooth running adjustable spin-dle. This makes erection easier.

Transporting the counter-jib with the pickaback system is a time-tested transport option for existing EC-B cranes. Loading and unloading in one hoist helps to speed up the

erection process and transporting the complete counter-jib on one truck shows that large cranes are now as compact as small ones.

The scaling process is one of the most important steps in a safe commissioning procedure for a crane. The newly developed scaling assistant provides the service technician with predefined masks and selected possible inputs for this purpose. The control system automatically adopts the correct load diagram and settings. At the same time a logic check of the settings is carried out in the background.

Scaling is significantly easier with the scaling assistant and safer than previously, even in difficult conditions.

Smart operating system


Modern construction in the 21st century is characterised by ever greater complexity in less space, coupled with time and cost pressure. The demands on construction machin-ery and its operators are growing, especially for tower cranes. To help the crane operators with their work whilst also increasing handling capacity, reliability and safety, the control system on the new EC-B cranes features the famil-iar Litronic assistance systems.

Scaling assistant

The adjustment of the operating-range limiting system is supported graphically by the TC-OS. The limiting shape is drawn and displayed in real time. The crane operator can adjust the map alignment as he wishes, similar to a vehicle navigation system. That means that either the crane or the environment moves in the display.

Operating-range limiting systemTower Crane OS

We are all familiar with tapping, swiping and pulling on a smartphone or tablet. The control system of our EC-B cranes is now just as simple and intuitive. A touchscreen, gesture control, clear displays, excellent menu structure and all the main information at a glance – extensive training and induction times are reduced as a result of the simple control interface of the TC-OS Tower Crane Operating System.

Other featuresClear information Unambiguous colour display as soon as critical states are reached (for example max. lifting capacity reached) Camera Add conventional trolley camera systems to the multi-touch display – no additional display required Over-the-air update Software remains up to date at all times Membrane keys For direct access to the main functions IP65 equipment The surface of the display is insensitive to water and dustVarious user levels Each user only sees the content relevant to him

The crane operator’s workplace must provide adequate comfort to enable him to concentrate on his work for a full day. The control stand can be tilted, moved or the armrests can be adjusted ergonomically to suit the individual needs of every crane operator.

In addition to its size, one of the main features of a crane cabin is the quality of the view it provides. Even from the outside it is obvious that the LiCAB® has been completely redeveloped with special attention being given to improving visibility. That enables the crane operator to have a perfect view of the site at all times, enhancing the safety of person-nel and the machine.

Comfortable working environment

Three versions Ergonomic workplace

The LiCAB® is available in three different equipment ver-sions. Even the Basic version includes a range of comfort features and ergonomic improvements. We can supply the perfect version for any climate zone, be it hot or cold.

Our LiCAB® Air and the LiCAB® AirPlus feature a new air conditioning concept.

Unrestricted good viewMore comfort and more space

With a floor area of 2.35 m2, the LiCAB® has more space than any previous Flat-Top crane cabins. A well-designed, tidy interior design, the individually adjustable control stand and various other features make the cabin into a second home.

Other featuresVentilation concept Fast, targeted heating or air conditioning of the cabin using revised ventilation conceptStorage trays and sockets To ensure everything has its place and works, with USB and 230 V equipmentTimer for HVAC No more annoying waiting to get to working temperature and a clear view
